Synopsis

This volume includes the invited lectures and some of the oral communications delivered at the International Symposium "Disorders of Eating Behavior: A Psychoneuroendocrine Approach" held in Pavia, Italy on September 12th-15th, 1985. The purpose of the symposium was to bring up-to-date the knowledge on every type of pathology related to food intake. In this context, anorexia nervosa, bulimia and obesity may converge into a continuum in eating disorders, possibly based on common pathogenetic mechanisms. Many different factors may be responsible for these phenomena and in this volume they have been evaluated together in order to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of the different syndromes and to propose more fruitful therapeutic approaches. A compendium of this kind has been long awaited and should herald a new era of research in the field.
